Honey & Garlic Duck Fried Rice

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless skinless duck breasts, in 1/2 inch cubes
  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce or 4 tablespoons tamari soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup brown rice
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 6 green onions, white and 1/2 of green,sliced
  • 1 cup Chinese pea pod, trimmed
  • 1 small summer squash
  • 1/2 yellow bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 (10 ounce) can stir-fry baby corn
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (to scramble eggs)
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or 1 tablespoon tamari soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Method

  1. Place the cubed duck breast in a plastic bag with soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and 2 sliced garlic cloves. Seal and refrigerate to marinate for at least 2 hours.
  2. To cook the brown rice, heat vegetable oil in a large pan and cook 2 minced garlic cloves until golden. Add the rice and stir until fragrant, then pour in the broth.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat, cover the pan, and simmer for 45 minutes until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid.
  4. As the rice cooks, prepare the vegetables and eggs. Shred the yellow squash, drain the baby corn, and slice the green onions. Scramble the eggs in 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and set them aside. Steam the pea pods and chopped bell pepper together for 1 minute, then plunge them into cold water.
  5. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet. Cook the marinated duck cubes along with the marinade and green onions for 10 minutes.
  6. Add the cooked rice to the skillet and increase the heat slightly. Stir constantly for about 10 more minutes until the marinade thickens.
  7. Mix in the honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic powder. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes to allow the flavours to combine.
  8. Gently fold in the steamed pea pods, peppers, shredded yellow squash, baby corn, and scrambled eggs.
  9. Cook for a further 3 to 4 minutes, just until the vegetables and eggs are warmed through.
  10. Serve the fried rice straight away.
